AST5

Gayle White-Malloy says:
The Hill Tribe and River Ride tour was over the top fantastic. Every day was an adventure and every day we thought it couldn't get better, but it did. All types of transportation, tuks tuks, open trucks, bicycles, riding elephants down a river, two day barge trip on the Meekong River, train, to air conditioned vans. The accomodations went from sleeping on a floor in one room with all our tour mates in a hill tribe village to an overnight sleeper train to staying in a five star hotel on the Meekong River to staying in a quaint guesthouse. We never knew what the next night or day would bring. The jungle trek was probably the highlight in that it brought us to a part of Thailand and culture that the average tourist would not see or experience. The tour guide in Thailand, Pock, was absolutely the best guide we could have had. Thoughtful, knowledgable, very proud of the Thailand culture and very funny. The Thai and Laos people are so gentle and this trip was by far the best my husband and I have done in the 30 years of travel we have done. We can't stop telling our family and friends about how fabulous this was. So kudos Kumuka. Pat and Gayle
Introduction: This Grand Indo-China trip offers a wonderful chance to explore two of South East Asia's great cultural centres, the North Thailand hills and Laos' Mekong Delta. There can be no better way to witness the stunning scenery and experience the friendliness of the people. After an opening tour of Bangkok, we journey to Chiang Mai in the north. Here we trek by foot and on elephant back - plus rafting on a bamboo raft - to the hillside villages. A highlight of Chiang Mai will be the holy Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep temple visited by Buddhist pilgrims all year round. Next, it's on to Laos - a country standing in great contrast to Thailand and one hardly touched by tourism. Its landscape is both stunning and raw and its people welcome visitors with open arms. The highlight of this leg of the tour is a truly memorable boat trip on the Mekong River with the chance to see in all its splendour the spectacular and ever-changing scenery and the rural waterside life. Following on from there are visits to the cultural centres of Luang Prabang, with its monks in their colourful robes going about their religious rituals, and the capital Vientiane.
